Urban Asylum-Seekers

Donia, and her younger sister Azeeka, from Karachi Pakistan sit in their room. After receiving constant death threats by local extremist groups targeting Christians in Karachi, their family decided to sell everything and leave. They have been seeking asylum in Bangkok for almost a year and a half. They stay in their room most of the day and usually don't leave the premises in fear of being arrested by immigration police and detained inside the IDC for not having a valid visa. They wait for their visa application interview. Mar. 2015
